Bruno wouldn’t necessarily have gotten a lot of pressure to get married, especially once his sisters did and there were a couple of grandkids. There’s a place in Catholicism for single people who serve the community. People who really feel that call should presumably go be a priest or a nun or monk, but that’s not always possible … and being a literal prophet is probably an acceptable alternative. And it would be a help to the family to have an adult who is not distracted by their own courtship/family and can be backup for whatever’s necessary.  

If you’re writing period-appropriate attitudes, ace/aro Bruno would get a surprising lack of shit.
